Sophie’s eyes flickered. Edont know why he did that

She clearly membered wering this desirs in Byence ays why the had been

Ina for sunk reason, in the end, he was still the same pendle and rational mendeeting her to the boy for detive

Anyway, you’d better he careful with him. I think he probably has feelings for you?

Don’t overthink it. That’s impossilde?

Sophie refused to believe tharry’s words.

Ryan knew about her engagement to Liam, and he also knew she was carrying Marrie’s Chald.

In that situation, how could the possibly harbor such thoughts about her?

After chatting a lule more with Sherry, Sophie hung up the video call

That night, Sophie slept soundly without even a single dream.

Marcus, on the other hand, was completely different.

He drowned himself in alcohol all night, no amount seeming enough.

By the time Zack found him, he had already emptied three bottles of strong liquor.

“Marcus, why do this to yourself? Sophie’s fine. Why sit here in despair?”

Marcus gave no response, only lifted his glass and downed another.

The burning liquor seared down his throat, offering only fleeting relief from the heaviness inside.

“Marcus, the scandal about Liam has already spread. If this keeps snowballing tomorrow it’ll definitely affect the Morgan Group’s reputation. You can’t keep drinking,”

Zack reached to take the glass from his hand, but Marcus evaded him easily and poured himself another.

Finally, he spoke.

“Have someone suppress the news, Don’t bury it completely–just keep it under control so it won’t damage the Group’s reputation.”

His voice was low, restrained, and icy,

Zack’s eyes widened in surprise, followed by a long sigh

In the Morgan family, even the slightest scandal could spark public outrage.

For that reason, there had long been an unwritten rule: no matter if one was the main branch or a side branch, scandals were absolutely forbidden

At the faintest sign, the head of the family had to move quickly and kill the story before it spread.

But Marcus–for Sophie’s sake–had ignored that rule, lowering the bottom line to its absolute minimum.

He really was madly in love with her

The next morning, Sophie’s first action upon waking was to check her phone,

Lat’s srandal had not marle the ending lists, nor had the live stream streetshots spreart wildly

tinct tots par

Le circles, almost no one knew. Inside the circle, however, everyone knew.

The balance was struck so perfectly–it was impossible not to belleve Marcus id intervened.

Sophie breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

It was a pity Liam wasn’t utterly ruined, but for the purpose of breaking off the engagement, this was more than enough.

After washing up, a knock came at her door.

She opened it and froze in surprise.

“Dad, Mom, Ethan–you’re here?”

Her mother’s eyes were red. “Sophie, we know what Liam did. Don’t be sad, we’re

to take

you home.”

“Yes, let’s go back right now. We’ll end this engagement with that bastard!” Her father’s

sanger could barely be restrained.

They had seen the evidence early that morning. At first, they refused to believe it–until Ethan found the screenshots in one of the rich kids‘ chat groups.

Only then did they accept the disgusting truth.

They hadn’t hesitated for a second. They drove straight to the villa to protect Sophie.

They wanted everyone who might laugh at her to see that she had the Chandlers behind her–she wasn’t alone.

Her throat tightened. “Dad, you haven’t fully recovered yet. You shouldn’t have rushed here like this.”

“I’m fine. And you? Are you really not hurting?”

“I’m fine. I actually slept very well last night.”

Ethan studied her skeptically. “Really?”

“Brother, I told you before–I’ve long wanted to end things with Liam. I just hadn’t found the right excuse and didn’t want people to say our family was breaking promises. But now, with his scandal everywhere, I don’t have to worry anymore. I’ll cut ties cleanly.”

Her mother sighed deeply. “On the way here, I was still wondering how to comfort you, worried you might break down. But seeing you like this–we can finally breathe easy.”

Her father patted her shoulder. “Pack your things. We’ll go to the Morgans right now and end this engagement.”

“Okay.”

Sophie quickly gathered her belongings and left the villa with her family.

They had barely stepped into the car when Liam suddenly appeared, clutching onto the half–shut door.

“Sophie, it was all a misunderstanding! I thought she was you–that’s why it happened!”
